DEATH In THE WATER.
Is the Element We Drink Deci-
mating the People?
How n Universal Menace to Health May be
Disarmed.

few years ago the people in a certain sec
ton in one OF the leading cities OF the State
were Frustrated with malignant disease, and
upon investigation IL was found that only
those who used water from famous old well
were the victims.
Professor = A baltimore analyst of the
New York state Board of Health, upon analyz-
ing water from this well, found II more deadly
than the city sewage
The filling mp OF the old well stopped tho
ravages OF the disoase.
Not long since the writer noticed while some
men were making an excavation for large
building, stratum Of dara-colOred earth run
ming from near the surface TO hard pan.
There IL took another course toward q well
near at hand The water from this well ha /
for years been tainted with the drainage from
receiving vault, the percolations OF which
had discolored the earth!
Terriblel
A similar condition Of things exists in every
village and city whore we'll water is used, and
though the filtering which the fluids receive in
passing through the earth may give them a
clear appearance, yet the poison and disease
remains, though the water may look never 30
clear
1t is still worse with the farmer, for the
drainage from the barn yard and the slops
from the kitchen eventually find their way in
to the family well.
large cities, Whole water supplies are rivers
fed by little streams that carry off the filth
and drainage from houses. This "water" is
eventually drunk by rich and poor alike with
great evil
Some cautious people resort TO the filter
for purifying this water, but even the filter
does not remove this poison, for water OF the
most deadly character may pass through this
filter and become clear, yet the poison dis
guised is there.
They who use filters know that they must
be renewed at regular periods, for even though
they do not take out all the impurity they
soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys act
as filter for the blood, and if they are filled
up with impurities and become foul like the
filter, all the blood in the system coursing
through them becomes bad, for ii is now a
conceded fact that the kidneys are the chief
means whereby the blood is purified These
organs are filed with thousands OF hdir-like
tubes which drain the impurities from the
blood as the sewer pipes drain impurities
from our houses.
If a Sc wer pipe breaks under the house. the
sewage escapes into the earth and fills the
house with poisonous gas; so If any Of the
thousand and one little hair-like sewer tubes
of the kidneys break down, the entire body is
affected by this awful poison.
1t Is a scientific fact that the kidneys have
few nerves OF sensation; and, consequently,
disease may ex st in these organs for long
time and not be suspected by the individual
1t is impossible to filter or take the death out
of the blood when the least arrangement ex-
lists III these organs, and If the blood is not
filtered then the uric acid, or kidney poison,
removable only by Warmers safe cure, accu-
mulates In the system and attacks any organ,
producing nine out of ten ailments, just as
sewer gas and bad drainage produce so many
fatal disorders
Kidney disease may be known to exist if
there is any marked departure from ordinary
health without apparent known cause, and II
should be understood by all that the greatest
peril exists, and is intensified IL there is the
least neglect to treat it promptly with that
great specific, Warmers safe cure, a remedy
that has received the highest recognition by
scientific men who have thoroughly investi-
gated the character of kidney arrangements.
They may not tell us that the cause of so
many diseases in this organ is the impure
water or any other one thing, but this poison
GUS water with it's impurities coursing con-
stantly through these delicate organs I'M
doubleday does produce much OF the decay and
disease which eventually terminate in the fatal
Bright's disease for this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists, the tobacco
slave the laborer the merchant, and the
tramp, works terrible devastation every year
1t IL well known that the liver, which is so
easily thrown "out or gear, as they say, very
readily dlsturbs the action of the kidneys.
That organ when deranged immediately an
nounces the fact by sallow skin, con-
stipated bowels, coated tongue and head
aches, but the kidney when diseased struggles
on for a long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the aid of the
microscope or by the physician who is skillful
enough 10 trace the most indirect effects in
the system to the arrangement of these organs,
as the prime cause.
The public is learning much on this subject,
and when it comes to understand that the
kidneys are the real health regulators, as they
are the real blood purifiers OF the system,
they will escape an infinite amount of un-
necessary suffering, and add length of days
and happiness to their lot
